A movie about Remy the cute little chef rat who lives in Paris, wants to be a cook and has an adorable fat brother Emile. He's a special rat who can taste good food from garbage (all rats in the colony loves garbage food). He accidently gets a cookbook by master chef Gusteau whose motto is "Anyone Can Cook" and has imaginery visions of Gusteau after his death because of a bad critic by Anton Ego. He gets himself to Gusteau's restaurant and discovers he can control Gusteau's son Linguini (who cant cook for nuts) movement by using his hair to cook. With Remy as cook, Gusteau's restaurant gets great reviews and attracts Anton Ego who is determine to critic the restaurant to its ground. But Remy, with the help of the whole rat colony, conjours the best Ratatouille (a simple traditional french stewed vegetable dish with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, garlic, onions, pepper and basil) which reminds Anton Ego of his mum's cooking. Ego writes a great review and ends up opening a restaurant La Ratatouille with Remy as head chef. A very entertaining animation movie and the rat is sooo cute!

Pattaya Bangkok

Just got back from bangkok and pattaya over the weekend. relaxing trippy. lotsa nudity, a-go-go pubs, gays, aquas aka transvestites (yes we couldn't tell them apart). i was pretty surprised walking around pattaya coz its quite clean on the main roads and very safe even with all the odd people around, at least the pimps and touts don't haress u while u r walking around.
the food is great! the picture is a kebab store by the side road which is delicious. there's a beef, fish ball noodles store in front of a 7-eleven which was good and its chilli was crazy hot till ur lips and throat burn with just a small spoonful. nightlife is definitely not to be missed ;D ... shopping was soooo good, coz there were sales! siam paragon and centralworld shops were all having sale on branded goods and of coz JJ (chatuchak) market is still as good ... kinda lost my way in the market had to get a map just to get out of the place, khao san road has good buys as well as lotsa pubs! pratunam market is next for bargains and a yummy chicken rice stall while patpong night market shopping is on the high side but its a-go-go pubs and backlane "unseen" shows make it very interesting. tip: just don't follow any guy with plastic cards to backlanes coz its not the safest thing to do! rode the tut-tut twice in night (we vowed that's the last time) coz our tut-tut ran 3 red lights and cornering was sooo scary! the cab is definitely safer and at the same price, take the cab! Oh don't forget to visit the lamborghini and ferrari stores to view the super cars on display at siam paragon ... the cars are sooo nice.

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

last installation of harry potter out yesterday .... got my copy at Tesco for rm69.90 after all the mph hoo-ha .... booksellers got unfair play but too bad the hypergiants win coz Tesco (Uk) and Carrefour (France) got more money to throw ... so us consumers got some cheap books to read. i would've bought my book from mph if they didn't insist on selling it at rm109!

anyway .... harry lives to marry! hahaha so yea he didn't die - i guess the publishers' marketing gimmick of getting everyone curious really worked coz when we were at Tesco, strangers actually strike a conversation with us to know what happened to harry! of coz we told everyone he didn't die! :D ... so if u wanna chat up anyone in the next few days, just carry a potter book at 45 degree angle and walk around!

ron and hermoine? hehehe duh ....

07.07.07 that's today! it's almost like a james bond number 007. i watched transformers today & when i got the tickets it read 07.07.07 cinema 7 seat F7. pretty coincidental huh ... think i should buy 4D maybe i'll strike. there's of course plenty of couples getting married today, wanting that number as their wedding date. venus williams just won wimbledon today her 4th championship in 6 years. around the world is the Live Earth concert series a 24 hour 7 continent concert to "answer the call" and help combat climate crises being held in New York, London, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg and Hamburg. too bad astro didn't air this live but wats new right.

Our ISP sucks?

How true is this? I think this blogger is pretty much getting it right on how our isp really sucks!
I'm sure everyone has experience downloading stuffs, be it songs, movies, etc ... and sometimes ... no ... most times ... its really really slow! ur isp is controlling ur usage n speed people! don't be naive and think its all "unlimited" - ur time is unlimited but ur speed is limited.

Ever wonder why our telcos can charge us some 10cents or 15cents per minute when it can be alot less? If u have travelled to China, notice the locals have really long mobile numbers ... they are actually using VOIP. It's all over China, n cuts call costs alot, those who have experience this over skype will know how cheap it is to call international. Ever wonder why Malaysians aren't extensively using VOIP considering we have a young generation and everyone seems to own a mobilephone ... thanks to some policy to keep a few of our telcos alive, our telcos aren't much bothered by competition (international telcos have to jv with our local telcos to operate in good ole Msia). So we aren't getting the advanced services as fast as our counterparts, that's why other countries are moving at a much faster pace than us! While we are being drowned by 3G services - currently 3G services are so limited, which is probably outdated by the time it's fully implemented, telcos are sucking our money right under us. It's time to upgrade the infrastructure MAXIS CELCOM DIGI!

super rookie Lewis Hamilton!

Lewis - first black guy to win his first F1 grand prix race from pole position in just 6 races into the season in yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix which was filled with accidents and 4 safety cars. Robert Kubica was involved in a massive accident with his car turtling and landing on it's side, he suffered a broken leg. But the highlight of the race for me was Takuma Sato in a Super Aguri overtaking Fernando Alonso in a Mclaren! Sato overtook Alonso fair & square on the race track and finished 6th earning him 3 points. Lewis Hamilton now leads the championship, can he win the title?

So SMART the tunnel

Rain in KL is like icing on cake - very normal affair. One would expect floods to happen alot in the city, which is what happened a few years ago when a massive flood occured, most notably a tourist spot - Dataran Merdeka underground carpark was filled with water, causing damages in thousands of ringgit. The cause was said to be overflowing of riverbanks in the city area. So, being Malaysians, rectifying a problem means building something big/tall/deep! Hence, we have the SMART tunnel - Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel - a tunnel which supposedly prevents overspill of flood water from Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and ease motor traffic congestion preventing flooding in the city. The tunnel is almost complete and was open to the public for a month in mid May. Here comes the good part. Last Sunday evening, flash floods occured in KL and PJ areas - there were minor landslides and flooding because of blocked drainage causing massive traffic jams all over KL. Now, with SMART tunnel in use, you would think there was a solution in place for drivers in KL. Guessed what? Motorists who decided to use SMART tunnel was caught in a traffic jam for more than 1 hour because the SMART tunnel was flooded! Spending millions of ringgit to build a solution for KL motorists and this is the service we get?! What a waste of road taxes! Authorities explained that the SMART tunnel was designed for floods occuring from overflow of Sg Klang, Sg Ampang, Sg Gombak and does not cater for flash flood from drain blockage (which is what happened last Sunday). Gee, I thought a flood is a flood, there is a difference in types of flood? What's the purpose of spending millions of ringgit if it cant cater for all types of flood? Shouldn't they have done a thorough study of all types of flood that happens in KL before they build SMART tunnel? Samy please explain. Don't blame others like you did in the government building roof leaking issue. Maybe in future, kids will be sent to school just to answer questions so they don't sound dumb. Whilst hundreds of motorists were stuck in the tunnel, it was noticed that there were only 4 huge fans that ventilated the tunnel! This is definitely not up to international standard, without proper ventilation we could all suffocate and die in the SMART tunnel. Now this aint very smart is it. Samy what have you done with the tax payers money? Obviously someone has given some bad advice, someone is benefitting so much that they have cut costs (or they had to cut costs because the money has to be used to for the many layers in the government's system), someone is using innocent KL motorists as guinea pigs during this 1 month trial period of using the SMART tunnel. So the next time you think you're "smart" to use the SMART tunnel, think again. Malaysia boleh!

Shrek 3

Shrek the Third returns!
Yup, it's the kingdom of Far Far Away & that green ogre Shrek. The king frog dies in the most long winded way, choking on his own breath and giving the throne to Shrek who gives it to Artie (the princess' cousin from somewhere whose father left him - no link watsoever to the whole movie). There's a new character Merlin - manic, crazy wizard whose robe cant cover his skinny legs while his spell-casting side-effect is to swap Donkey and Puss In Boots' inner soul - Donkey is now Puss and Puss is now Donkey. Aihh! This 3rd edition isn't as funny as the first two, although there's still a few good laughs to look forward to. If you have time to spare and you like everything green, watch it ... otherwise "Go Go Away"!

M&M's has also launched their Ogre-Sized M&Ms. Yes, you guessed it ... it's GREEN! From the packaging it looks like its twice the size of a normal M&M. Hhmm ... i shall try it & let you know.

An entertaining movie overall. Tip is to make sure u at least have seen Pirates 2 otherwise it's difficult to follow the story & characters. Remember to stay until the middle of the credits for extra footage!

Added a short video preview, what do u think? I tot it's kinda cool to be watching the scene again but i wish there were other scenes to choose from. Unfortunately, I don't know how to stream or edit more of the pirates movie coz I don't have it to begin with! haha u just have to live with the free stuff!
